14 years ago, I was walking along a beach in Cornwall (UK) with my then 1 year old Yorkie, Heidi. A horse came cantering towards us and she took off, petrified. I did my best to follow her, but soon she was a tiny speck in the distance and i lost sight of her. I was in such a state scouring the beach and in floods of tears. after half an hour or more i saw an old couple coming towards me, the old guy was holding something in his arms, it was Heidi, frightened and soaking wet!! it turns out, in her panic to escape the monster (the horse!) she had tried to cross the gannel river that runs out to sea and had got swept along by the strong current!
the old guy and his wife had been crossing the bridge and had seen my little Heidi struggling to cross and he had bent down and fished her out! and then tried looking for the owner. There are still some good people left in this world, I will always be thankful to that couple, and i had 14 long happy years with my 'first' baby.
